As the title of this document indicates, this is a work in progress. If you find errors, or if you wish to add to the lists, please notify Christa Mueller at 655-2238 or to e mail FnCMueller@aol.com.
The lists have been compiled from information received from: Harry McCarty, Robert Deming, Robert Hannah and Christa Mueller. A day-long walk across the Island in August 2002 with Don Cameron of the Maine Natural Areas Program resulted in the bulk of the Flora lists. At other seasons we are certain to find many additions.
The lists will be updated from time to time. Needless to say, expert input would be welcome, particularly regarding Mosses, Fungi, Grasses, Lichens and small mammals. These are very specialized fields, and our lists are very fundamental.
